We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

Thank you sir.  It is indeed a fine little axe, almost hate to use it for fear of scuffing it up.    :bigsmyl:  

If you have that many you're what I'd call axe rich...   :notworthy:

This afternoon in the office, while working I came back here to check again on my Stic shooter steel,  ;)  and tonight I'll be hitting the road to goose bowhunt with my friend Rob  :archer:  

Can it be better than that?

What kind of axe is that in the pic with the bow?  I've thought if I got heavy into traditional archery I would get into some tradtional "working steel" as well to finish off the look plus it could decorate the house as well  :)

It's a Gransfors Bruks, hand forged hatchet.  They're made in Sweden.  Here's a link...

If you want something a bit more "traditional", you might want to go with something more along these lines  http://shrewbows.com/shrewhawk/index.htm  . One of Ron LaClair's Shrew Hawks, they're a fine looking tomahawk and by all accounts a good performer.

Lin,
Wow, I like your approach; few words, and one tool for multiple uses.  Thanks. -  Tim
